A GLANCE AT THE FASHIONS.

Dresses of white Irish linen are made up
with belted blouse waists and trimmedwith
dark blue duDgaree bands on which are
rows of white linen braid.
Irish linen dresses are used for yachting
and tennis and are commended for their
GOODNESS. The duDgaree with which they
are trimmed is an English fabric Of tRllled
cotton very finely woven,
A pretty wrap to throw about the shout.
6ers while on the gallery in the evening is
three cornered piece of China Grape, EN-.
broidered with light-runniug vine pat
tern and deeply fringed. These come in
lovely shades of blue, rose, cream, pa'e
green, poppy red and corn color -
Some very pretty hats worn at the sea-
shore call to mind the coquettish head
dresses OF the Normandy fisher girls They
have very high, narrow, round Gro WINS,
which are covered with shirred cream
colored null. The brim is covered with
lace Iutfies, and big ribbon bow is placed
upon the front.
The belted waist, or 'banded bodice" as
sailors call it, is in great favor for summer
toilets. These have full straight skirt
gathered to belt and are without drapery.
The sash is passed around the waist and
tied in long loops and ends. The loops
may be fatty folded or there may be loose
open loops that swing and form the drap-
cry.
White, eream-tinted and yellow sashes
are most used, though shades of tilleuI and
ttuce green are still liked for black and
white lace dresses. Watered ribbons, with
picot edges, are the general choice of these
sashes. The POmpadour sashes are nov
city, with bands of satin strewed with
small flowers of natural colors, alternating
with watered-silk stripes.

either black or white, are worn with
belted waists of China Grape aud wide
ssshes. Sometimes the sashes are of the
new Roman MORE, which comes in such
wide widths that the belted waists can
| also be made of them and with the lace
skirts have very bright and pretty effect
| The broadcast sashes worn with these
dresses are fourteen inches wide, but those
| from ten to eleven in width are much
more popular.
| The crocheted white laces and Irish
/ point embroidery are very effectively used
as a wide border at the front or side band
of the skirt, and as yoke or vest on the
| waist of cotton sateen dresses, in shades of
pale gray, heliotrope, or the dull pink
known as old rose. These bordered skirts
| are always plain around, not plated, and
for many the velvet border is susicient
without the lace. The same methods of
1 trimming are USED Win GOOD euect on cot
ton crepes and other cotton fabrics.
For children's sashes wide surah ribbons
are imported with diagonal stripes and
rows of balls separated by heavily twilled
lines. These lie so closely and compactly
that they do not easily come united, and
therefore best liked for little peoples wear.
Madros sashes in rich dull colors are worn
with bla lace or net dresses. When they
are worn with batques they are folded mar
| rowly, brought to a point in front, outline
the basque and are tied under the position,
making very boufant effect.
The newest importation of ribbons from
Paris show strong tendency to ch angea.
BILE coloring; red changes with blue
shrimp pink with white, blue with ecru
and rose pink with green. The "lores
cent" ribbons are new also and come IN
sash widths as well as in narrow samples
There instead of being one color shot across
another have changeable shades dyed In
the silk, and are either two tones of
color or else they have the color hghtened
by white, as pale rose with white and vel
low or lavender with white.
The latest idea In the universal sailor
hat is TO trim it simply with wide banG
of heavy white ribbon, making 1t rather
more masculine than ever. Some are
trimmed with wide belt, with perpendic
ular blue-and-white or black-and-whitt
stripes. Another fancy is to cover a blue
straw sailor with tulle of the same shade
The brim Is shrouded with three thick
nessess of the tulle, gathered and hello
in about the crown which is covered in
the same manner-with q loose rope o.
the diaphanous material, which is ar
ranged In q number of erect loops In
front. Across these are placed two long
stiff blue feathers, powdered With gold
i dust,
